WE need our young guys to step it up the most. These guys are the ones that are going to get us to the promised land. I can see us unloading a lot of vets in the next 2 seasons either because of the cap or they have downgraded skills. Would like to see us draft a CB or 2 in the early to mid rounds next year, providing we don't trade them away. I can see Rocky being the cornerstone defensively in a couple years if he has indeed really stepped up his game.

I want Rogers to step it up. That is the guy who is really getting on my nerves because we arent hearing any positive things from him. He is dropping balls in practice man. He could have had 9 or 10 picks from my count and he only got 1 and he almost dropped that one.

You asked:
"does the post ever say anything negative about the skins during traing camp?"
The very simple and very direct answer to your question is:
NO!
And neither does the Washington Times nor WTEM hosts nor anyone associated with "Red Zebra". Unless the Skins lose an exhibition game by 6 TDs, this time of year is like the old song "Home on the Range". Cue the music:
"Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word,
And the skies are not cloudy all day..."

Post isn't very kind to Skins fans. They still haven't updated the Post message board threads since Draft and FA signings of '06. THe sports writers of the Post really suck also. THey seem to have a definite anti Skin slant to them. THe Lions stink real bad, but we do have pretty good sports writers up here. Pro or con, they seem to be more knowledgable. It is nice to hear Rocky really wants to start and step up his game. Now I understand better why they gave him the preseason starting job over Marshall.
The Post sports writers suck? The Post probably has the most talented group of sports writers in the country. Do you think it is an accident that Kornheiser in on MNF, Wilbon is doing the NBA finals & Feinstein has written some of the best books on Sports available? Watch ESPN Classic and you will see Post columnists everywhere. Just because they hold Snyder's regime accountable doesn't mean they suck.

They should start Smoot over him and see if that lights a fire. If is doesn't, wait until it makes sense to drop him. What a disappointment he has been...

I agree 100%. One of the best posts I've read in a while.

While I have to agree with you both. It does seem like the party line. Listening to Bram Weinstein on XXX yesterday (who is HIGHLY critical of the Skins). He stated, EVERYTHING he has seen, and everything he has heard re: JC has been +++. He also stated the "JC has made me a believer" (at least for now)
......Good to hear..........we'll see
